          People don't know what they want. A democracy will never be able to achieve perfection and only serves to slow progress. We should be ruled by the best and brightest minds of each generation. The rest of us will become expendable henchman.

                Americans are way, way, way too stupid to ever understand this.

                  So are most Australians, but that doesn't seem to stop us.
                  I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).
